New character I’m working on, the dragon, Myranyth. His humanoid form at least. ❤️‍🔥✨

A sketch of a humanoid disguise for a dragon. With wings in his lower back, and a disheveled knights armor.

This is pretty close to what we're asking for in terms of device-level parental controls and leaving the internet alone. It doesn't require ID or other sensitive info uploads, it's a parent inputting their child's birthdate in the phone upon setup

AB 1043 does not apply to websites, meaning the technology is not currently available to adult sites who wish to block minors. While there is inherent privacy risk in all AV solutions, device-based solutions are more privacy preserving than the platform-based verification mandated in other states.

Free Speech Coalition @fsc.bsky.social · 1d

California just became the latest state to require device-level age verification. Under AB 1043, users must verify their age when setting up a phone or downloading apps, forcing Apple & Google to build age-check systems into devices.

Illustration of a millefleurs-style tapestry of two barn owls circling a curled up rabbit. The animals are surrounded by various other plants and animals that juxtapose symbols of life and death, making it unclear if the rabbit lives or dies.

Risoprint-esque illustration of a giant white-bodied oarfish against a night sky, curled around a highway billboard. The billboard says “caution” in vibrating letters against a bright yellow background. Roadside lights and power lines are overlaid onto the oarfish’s body.

Illustration of a rat king (multiple rats tangled together by their tails). The rats are all clustered in the top half of the composition, with their tails forming a loop below. A dripping crown is overlaid on the loop, and the rats all have small crowns.

Illustration based on the The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, where the phrase “albatross around your neck” is derived from. An albatross is tangled in rope, with the rope forming a noose around a skeleton’s neck and tied with a bowline knot. An arrow intersects the knot, and tears drip from the point of the arrow.

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been

you have to kill the devil's advocate in your brain when you're writing, you have to smother the imaginary bad faith reader that lives in your head. Trying to please the voice that tells you the person reading your work is ignorant/malicious is a mind-killer. There are better ways to create cohesion

My boomer take is that we don't need advanced tech and touch screens on appliances. My microwave, fridge, or stove doesn't need to be "smart."

I hope I live long enough to see the pendulum swing back to kindness and hope because I just can't fathom how this level of hatred and selfishness is sustainable.

Twitch finally admitted their anti-bot system is negatively impacting authentic view counts, alongside a bunch of other bizarre choices for what makes you count as a viewer. We were all right to complain.

These past few months my average viewership has dropped from 300+ to 150.

Bones and I did a quick investigation of a historic home turned museum last night, and caught some neat stuff. Would love to go back some day!

Close up of an antique chair with a red throw on it. There is a sign that reads, "Everyone who ever sat in this chair is now dead. Play it safe and sit in one of our designated guest seats."

A picture of a bay window with a wooden stand in front of it at night. The trees outside are lit by a street light, though inside a soft red light paints everything. There is a slight black haze on the left over the window and wall that does not correspond with anything in the picture.

I'm a fan of nuanced discussion but at this point I need to indulge in some black and white thinking and be clear that if you entertain AI generated art in any form I have no respect for you

You know, it always feels so heartwarming to get comments like „timeline cleanse”, „this made me feel better” or „I wanna live there” under my art. I want to create art that helps people feel comfortable and cozy even if just for a moment, and I’m so happy when it happens. 🥹
